DESCRIPTION:<p>The Centre for Philosophical Psychology of the University<br>of Antwerp would like to invite you to the international conference on Pretend Play and E-Cognition.</p>\n<p>About</p>\n<p>This conference seeks to explore if and how E-Cognition theories\, which aim to understand cognition through the interplay between the brain processes\, bodily capacities and environmental contexts\, can improve our understanding of pretend\, imaginative and creative practices.</p>\n<p>E-Cognition refers to a young field of interdisciplinary research on embodied\, embedded\, enactive\, extensive and ecological cognition\, and includes ecological psychology\, sensorimotor theory and dynamical systems theory. It assumes that cognition is shaped and structured by dynamic interactions between the brain\, body\, and both the physical and social environments.</p>\n<p>The pretend play practices include playing with objects 'as if' they were another\, role playing\, make-believe play\, having imaginary friends\, making-up new games\, creating rules in games\, confabulating\, storytelling\, making fictional scripts\, and acting.</p>\n<p>The conference will address newest developments in philosophical theories of E-Cognition in the field of pretense and imagination\, as well as latest empirical studies on pretend and creative forms of play from psychological research.</p>\n<p>Keynotes</p>\n<p>Thalia Goldstein - George Mason University\, USA:&nbsp\;<em>Embodiment in Dramatic Play and Social Cognition</em></p>\n<p>Arkadiusz Gut &amp\; Monika Chylinska - Catholic University Lublin\, Poland:&nbsp\;<em>Would 'anything go' in pretense? On exploratory and evaluative&nbsp\;actions of pretending children</em></p>\n<p>Vasuvedi Reddy - University of Portsmouth\, UK:&nbsp\;<em>Teasing\, pretending and deceiving: origins in infancy</em></p>\n<p>Agnes Szokolszky - University of Szeged\, Hungary:&nbsp\;<em>Development of metaphorical thinking and participatory skills via pretend play</em></p>\n<p>Martin Weichold - Regensburg University\, Germany:&nbsp\;<em>Rethinking the Mechanisms of Pretend Play by Synthesizing Enactivist Cognitive Science and Practice Theory</em></p>\n<p>Registration</p>\n<p>Conference participation fee: 50 EUR early registration (until 16 August)\, 75 EUR late registration.
